"Ha, so you remember me?" he laughed cocking the gun in his hand.
"What the hell do you want?" asked Joey gruffly.
Matt laughed as one of his men struck Joey in the head hard with the butt of his gun. He heard Lauren shriek as Joey was knocked to the ground. Joey felt the room spinning, his head was throbbing where he had been hit he glared back at Matt, who was now pacing the room.
"Well Richter, I can negotiate if you're not so rude or I can put a bullet through your pretty little friends head" he said nodding towards Lauren.
Joey fell silent immediately.
Matt Socha smiled "good" he said as he walked toward the girls.
"As you all know you have gained much popularity over the years and many adoring fans, some over obsessive," he said factually "What I need from you is to disappear" he finished, an evil glint in his dark eyes.
The Starkids looked at each other surprised 'what did he mean disappear?'
Matt laughed at the looks on their faces "it seems you idiots don't know what I'm saying, no more videos, no more communication, no more Starkid." He hissed.
Brian looked at him flabbergasted. "What? What about the fans? What about our future?" he stammered out.
One of the men walked towards Brian holding up his gun. Brian recoiled in fright but before the man could hurt him Matt's voice rang out in the dark night.
"Stop Geoff, don't kill them… just yet."
Joe's eyes widened in shock 'just yet? Would he actually kill us?' he thought. 'I never got to tell Lauren how I really felt' he said to himself looking to the petite girl cowering against the wall.
They exchanged a look he could see some of the fear leaving her warm brown eyes met the crystal blue ones.
"You aren't good for this world. To many nosy people, you're a bunch of losers just out of college, some people work hard for their career but you guys just got lucky." He spat out glaring at them all.
"So you're just doing this out of jealousy?" asked Dylan angrily.
"I'm just doing it for the good of the world" he said, his voice full of spite "and you'll be the first one to go" he said pointing the gun at Dylan's head.
